Presidential Hopefuls Debate Two Governmental Structures
Johnson To Appeal Decision
"I PROPOSE"—ASSC presidential candidates John Sullivan (at left) and Adam Herbert met twice to debate yes-
Darrell Johnson will appeal to the Student Activities Committee within the next two days in an effort to be reinstated in the ASSC presidential contest.
Johnson ran third in last week's presidential primary, trailing second-place candidate Adam Herbert by 28 votes and first-place John Sullivan by 44.
The Board of Inquiry turned down his reinstatement request yesterday, based on a rule they discussed on April 8 stating that only the top two candidates would be in the presidential run-off.
1,536 Signatures
Johnson based his appeal on 1.536 petition signatures! collected Sunday evening and yesterday morning calling for| his reinstatement.
Johnson also argued that the closeness of the vote jus- U-JPAI PV HORRC tified his right to run.	* ^ °
He also said although the two top candidates had a combined majority of the votes counted, they did not poll a majority if the 120 voided votes are included.
Another candidate, Phil Kazanjian, was luckier in his appeal to Friday’s meeting of the board.
A candidate for junior class president, Kazanjian was vindicated of the charges leveled against him by his former opponent, Don Spyrison, concerning exorbitant campaign expenditures.
False Accusations
Spyrison, who was eliminated in Wednesday’s primary election, alleged that Kazanjian had spent an estimated $190 on campaign materials. The maximum expenses, according to the election code, are $50.
“Spyrison mistook hard work by my campaign workers for commercial labor,”
Kazanjian said.
Kazanjian said the work was actually done by hand-proof presses. A cousin of his, who is a typesitter, printed by hand the matchbooks, rib-1 bons and fact sheets Kazanjian passed out.
The total cost of his materials was only $49.08, 98 cents below the maximum. I

Cancelled Earlier
The program was originally slated for May 3, but when the AMS Speakers’ Committee failed to receive official permission, it was cancelled.
The request was slowed down by administrative instructions to conduct an investigation into police protection, attitude of the news media, educational reasons for the visit and the discussion format.
Ashton said the administration felt the preparations for the discussion were sufficient and important enough (Continued on Page 2)

national	Planning.
Pressure Groups Students would sit on these and other faculty committees as nonvoting advisory members and act as “a pressure, lobbying group.”
Sullivan took issue with his. proposal, stating, “Students should not be merely a pressure group, but a part of the university.”
He said under his system of community government, students will actively participate in formulating university policy on joint student-faculty committees, rather than just “sitting” in on faculty committees.
New Idea “Community government is new and experimental,” Sullivan maintained.
“I cannot point to any particular universities where community government has succeeded, but I don’t believe David my opponent can point out where student government has been a success on this campus.”
Herbert defended and student government by saying that ineffective student leaders of the past have caused the present lack of of student govern-

Undergraduates in all divisions and schools who have distinguished themselves in £ach ot' the two previous semesters by having achieved a 3.5 grade-point average: and undergraduates in the LAS Honors Programs.
